Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Treasure Land

Seeing Alvin Brown strolling around the village with Peter, and the two young men following closely behind Peter, the villagers all greeted Alvin Brown warmly.

"Village chief, who did you bring to the village?"

"My grandson, Peter, Lilac’s son."

"Village chief, how is Madam’s illness?"

"It’s fine, it’s fine."

...

Everywhere he went, Peter saw that everyone was very simple and had smiles on their faces.

As they walked, Alvin Brown said, "Everyone in the village is nice. Peter, we must think of a way to help them develop."

After touring the whole village, Peter couldn’t find a way to help them grow, which made him a bit frustrated.

Upon reaching the top of a hill, Peter looked around and sighed, "The scenery here is amazing. It’s a pity there’s no transportation. If there was, this place could become a tourist spot."

"Yeah, I’ve never left the village. I’ve never been to the township either." Teresa Taylor, having become familiar with Peter, began to speak more actively.

"Peter, the fish in this river are delicious. I’ll catch a couple for you to taste. With our homemade pickled cabbage, when made into pickled fish, I guarantee you’ll want more."

Talking about food, Ben Taylor’s eyes lit up as he began to describe the delicacies in the river.

"Brother, the game in the mountains is even more delicious than the wild chicken that Noah shot for me."

Listening to them talk about food, Peter’s gaze swept over the mountain.

Yikes!

Peter noticed a Lingcao growing in a bunch of weeds.

Peter knew this Lingcao was called Illusion Rain Grass, a Lingcao used to refine Yun Yuan Pills.

Upon closer inspection, it indeed was Illusion Rain Grass, a ten-year-old Lingcao.

The Yun Yuan Dan is no ordinary pill, it is of great benefit to those below the Qi Refining Period Fifth Layer. When these Lingcao are refined into a kind of pill called Zhuang Yuan Dan, it becomes a miraculous pill for mortals.

Seeing that Peter was looking at the Lingcao, Ben Taylor looked at it and said, "This is Yellow Fruit Grass. We’ve eaten its fruit before. It’s sour and not very tasty."

"Yeah, there’s a lot of this grass on the mountain. We would pick it to eat when we were young." Teresa casually mentioned.

Hearing them talk, Peter’s eyes glittered, "There’s a lot of this grass on the mountain?"

Alvin Brown, not understanding why, took a look and answered, "Yes, there’s a lot. It’s weeds, the fruit is just used to amuse children."

After a moment of thought, Peter realized the Illusion Rain Grass is not bad. Instead, this Lingcao needs to be paired with other Lingcao to have medicinal effects. Without pairing, it has no medicinal effects at all.

Thinking about this, Peter became excited. If he could find another type of Lingcao, even just a casual pill refined from it could sell for several million, or even more.

"Let’s go, let’s look elsewhere."

Peter quickly looked around the mountain.

"Floating Flower Grass!"

Having only walked a short distance, a Lingcao appeared in front of Peter. This was exactly the type of Lingcao he was looking for to pair with the Illusion Rain Grass. It was a Lingcao that usually coexisted with Illusion Rain Grass and, sure enough, it appeared here as well.

Seeing Peter staring at the Floating Flower Grass, Teresa said, "Peter, it’s Flying Flower Grass, right? When it matures, flowers will float out. With the mountain wind, the flowers will flutter in the air, which makes it quite beautiful. There’s also a lot of this grass on the mountain."

This time Peter didn’t say a word and continued walking. Soon enough, he indeed found another Floating Flower Grass.

Seeing that both types of Lingcao could be found here, Peter knew in his heart that there is a Spirit Vein here. It was only natural that this sort of Lingcao would grow here.

He thought there might be many more Lingcao he needed in these mountains.

A treasure land indeed!

Observing the situation here, Peter had made up his mind. Even if he had to spend money, he must develop this place. It could be transformed completely into a Cultivation Field of his own.

"Grandpa, can you guys cultivate this grass?" Peter pointed to a Floating Flower Grass and asked.

Alvin Brown looked at the grass, puzzled, "What are you wanting this grass for? There’s plenty on the mountain. As long as you find it on the mountain, you can transplant it. It’s not a difficult plant to grow."

Peter nodded and said, "Well, grandpa, I have decided to invest some money in developing this place. The first project is to cultivate Flying Flower Grass and Yellow Fruit Grass. You can encourage the villagers to help me dig up the weed I need from the mountain and plant it where I ask. How about I pay 100 dollars per grass?"

"What?" Alvin Brown looked at the Floating Flower Grass, his eyes widening in surprise.

Teresa was also shocked, "Peter, you’re not serious, are you? These unwanted weeds are precious to you!"

"Yes, this weed is useless to others, but it’s useful to me. As long as I can use this weed to make medicine and take it to the city, it will make a lot of money. I won’t lose out."

Upon hearing this, Alvin Brown slapped his thigh and said, "I knew Peter had a way. Alright, let’s consider this our first project."

Peter pointed to a mountain they had passed the previous night and said, "I want to lease that mountain. In the future, I plan to build some houses on it, and I also want to lease some land in the village to grow medicinal herbs."

"That mountain? Why not choose another one. The tomb on that mountain is not peaceful!"

Alvin Brown hesitated and said.

Peter said, "Grandpa, trust me. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t lose out. That mountain is perfect. You guys see how to lease it. I definitely won’t take a short-term lease, the longer the better. And as I develop, I will gradually need more manpower. At that time, everyone from the village will be hired."

"Okay, I’ll discuss this with everyone."

Peter said, "I like to be serious in doing things. Everything about leasing should be made clear. Verbal agreements won’t do. I don’t want it to be that once it’s developed, I have no say in anything."

Alvin Brown nodded vigorously and said, "There’s absolutely no problem with this. The village will report this to the township and everything will be done properly."

Peter pointed to a place and said, "First help me clear that area. Just plant these two kinds of medicinal herbs. I will gradually plant more in the future."

"Peter, is it really 100 dollars per plant?"

"Of course it is. Please help me collect them, and I’ll pay as soon as they are delivered."

Having said that, he looked at Alvin Brown and said, "Grandpa, I haven’t seen which of the herbs I need are on the mountain. Tell everyone not to damage other wild herbs while digging for these two."

Alvin Brown laughed and said, "You don’t have to worry about that, everyone will take care of them."
